Swirl
For a number of years, I did not take that many photos as I chose to concentrate on my work. Meeting people who were also keen photographers, and the advent of the full-frame sensor, tempted me back into photography. I have since developed an interest in black and white fine arts and architecture photography.
Since then I have enjoyed getting out and taking photographs with my wife. As much as I enjoy the end result of my efforts, the process – the getting to the location, the waiting, the setting up, and the post-processing – are all enjoyable parts of the experience.

entry description
As the stairway ascends it creates a swirl that is slowly illuminated by the light entering the space above, taking on an almost yin and yang like quality.about the photographer
I am an amateur photographer currently based in New Zealand after 16 years of living in China and England. I have been interested in photography since my brother gave me a camera back in the early 80s. I was also influenced by my father who took photos during the Second War II in which 4 of his brothers also fought. I had been using a Nikon FE2 and using mainly slide films to take landscape, street and portrait photography in New Zealand, and Asia in my 20s.For a number of years, I did not take that many photos as I chose to concentrate on my work.
